Synopsis from Hachette Book Group:

HOW CAN THIS PASSIONATE KNIGHT...
Renowned beauty Lady Linnet is torn between two desires: revenge on those who destroyed her family or marriage to her childhood sweetheart Sir James Rayburn. One fateful night, she makes a misguided choice: she sacrifices Jamie's love for a chance at vengeance.

TRUST A BEAUTY WITH A PAST?
Jamie Rayburn returns to England in search of a virtuous wife-only to find the lovely Linnet as bewitching as ever. Their reckless affair ignites anew, even hotter than before, although Jamie vows to never again trust her with his heart. Then just as Linnet begins to make amends, she's tempted by one last opportunity to settle old scores. But a final retribution could cost her Jamie's love - this time forever.

My thoughts: 

Knight of Passion is the third book in the All the King’s Men Trilogy.  I had no problem reading it as a standalone. If you read Knight of Passion, I can promise you’ll want to read the first two.  Margaret Mallory has such a beautiful, and descriptive writing style.  I was swept away by the story of Jamie and Linnet’s rocky love affair.

This is the story of a couple sharing an intense love, but separate long term goals.  The beautiful Linnet seeks revenge, while the noble Jamie wants a wife and children. After ending things on dramatic terms they are reunited after 5 long years.  The connection is still present, as is their differences. Jamie and Linnet are a couple you can’t help but to root for.  They are so perfect together, but both are too stubborn to sacrifice pride for love.  

I loved the language, the vivid descriptions of places and things, and the impassioned love shared between Jamie and Linnet.  I enjoyed the mystery laced in perfectly with the love story.  Knight of Passion is a fabulous book that I highly recommend.
